‘Murmuration’ is the exploratory new single from Modern Nature. “I wanted the music to reflect nature: beginnings and endings, arrivals and departures, process and chance,” explains Jack Cooper. “I wanted the music and the words to feel like roots, branches, mycelium, the intricacies of a dawn chorus, neurons firing, the unknown.” The track builds slowly, with atmospheric guitars and drums mixing with drifting woodwind and strings, over a sonic world that refuses to conform to rhythmic and structural norms. The band have developed the unique palette of sounds they crafted on their 2021 album and turned them into something even more expansive on their upcoming album, No Fixed Point In Space, which is due for release on September 29th, 2023. -Dan Peeke
